Won't the brickwall filter in the 96->48 downsampling process also introduce pre-ringing, and so George's test is flawed?

That would not invalidate my test. It would just make the difference even wider and easier to hear. Even if I do hear a difference in my test it does not guarantee I would hear the HD621 going the other way. But if I can't hear the difference in this "worst case" (largest gap) then I'm not sure I'll hear the difference going the other way.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
